Bradley Beal is never satisfied with his game and that’s one of the reasons why he keeps working and has improved each month of his rookie season. Beal has been his harshest critic ever since he stepped foot on an NBA arena, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise that he was quick to find fault in the highest-scoring game of his career.

The Wizards remain the NBA’s only team without a 30-point scorer this season but Beal nearly became the first during their 96-88 loss to the New York Knicks on Friday. Instead, Beal had to settle for 29 points, which still ranks as the most scored by any Wizard this season (the team hasn’t had a player reach 30 since Jordan Crawford had 32 points in a win over Milwaukee on April 18).
